'Incompetent hack.' Bevin rips judge who ruled against him in pension lawsuit.

Gov. Matt Bevin went after a Kentucky judge Tuesday, the day after that judge ruled against Bevin's procedural motion in a lawsuit over Kentucky's new pension law.

"I now have the most incompetent hack of a judge — I don't know if in Kentucky, but certainly one of the worst — who happens to be in Franklin Circuit Court," Bevin said in a radio interview on 55KRC, a talk radio station in Cincinnati.

On Monday, Franklin Circuit Court Judge Phillip Shepherd ruled in a 30-minute hearing that Bevin's attorneys could not depose representatives of Attorney General Andy Beshear's office, the Kentucky Education Association and the Kentucky Fraternal Order of Police.

The three parties filed a lawsuit April 11 against the state's new public pension law.

I'm sure Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd is not pleased with Mr. Bevin's rant and might invite him to testify under oath. One more Repugnant who doesn't seem to understand that government has three separate branches.

Perhaps it could better said that Kentucky has "...the most incompetent hack of a governor."
